Hellboy Director To Direct "The Haunted Mansion" Remake!
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Guillermo Del Toro announced @ Comic-Con that he is getting ready to direct a reboot/remake of Disney's 2003 film, "The Haunted Mansion" that starred Eddie Murphy.
In this new version, Del Toro intends the film to be full-on scary, rather than the family-friendly kids comedy horror. The new story is said to revolve around the "Hatbox Ghost" (pictured below) who will also be re-introduced into the original ride. 
This is what Del Toro told the audience, "We are not returning Eddie Murphy's calls...and we are notmaking it a comedy, we are making it scary and fun, but the scary will be scary." Above is the teaser logo for the new film. Now, I loved the Eddie Murphy one back in 2003. So why remake/reboot it? He also intends to make it 3D, like that wasn't gonna happen in the first place.

Just wish he'd hurry the fuck up and make "Hellboy III".
